Depends where you are and the soil conditions. I lost all my cabbages, kale and all but one solitary broad bean this last winter. Not just cold but waterlogged and windy. Winter onions survived, and garlic needs planting in winter so that was OK.

Struggling here. A pot of tete a tete in a warm spot by the house are out, elsewhere crocuses and daffs still in bud and a poor showing too.

Not much wildlife either - I have photos from the end of March last year with ladybirds, bumble bees and butterflies all well and truly out of hibernation. Expect they will be late this time round though.
